Chapter 132 Eligibility
As a track and field athlete, no matter what you do, you must get the consent of the track and field management center.

However, Ye Ling is indeed different from many track and field athletes, because Ye Ling's system is a solo system, and he is relatively free to do things.

However, Ye Ling wanted to participate in the Dakar Rally. After all, this matter could not be covered with paper. After a few days, this matter reached Yu Hongchen's ears.

Yu Hongchen, the first time he got the news, he felt that Ye Ling was joking.

Not to mention Ye Ling, even many strong drivers would not dare to participate in the Dakar Rally, let alone she is an athlete who has just obtained a driver's license.

Of course, the most important thing is the Dakar Rally, which is too exhausting for the body. The Dakar Rally takes about two weeks after a regular game, and it is a torture to a person's body and spirit. What's more, Ye Ling is still a track and field athlete. If he is injured in the rally, it will not be worth the loss.

Not only Yu Hongchen felt that Ye Ling was messing around, but Ye Ling's parents and coach also opposed him participating in such a competition.

Ye Ling's track and field career will be scrapped if he is not careful.

However, Ye Ling did not agree with her life or death. She said that she would stick to it even if God opposed it.

……

As the world's most famous car rally, the Dakar registration process does not seem complicated.

First of all, you must have a C-class driver's license issued by the FIA. In addition, you must have a racing car that meets the requirements of the organizing committee. After passing the medical examination, paying a registration fee, and contacting the sponsor, you can participate.

Of course, the above are the most basic requirements for participating in the Dakar. If you look at it in detail, it is much more difficult than imagined to really participate in the competition.The first issue wasn't just money, but qualifying.

Registered players must have a C photo from the FIA.According to common sense, the player has two to three years of experience in large-scale national competitions, so he should go to the FIA ​​to apply for a C license first.You are only eligible to apply for Dakar after you have a C license.

Then a recommendation letter from the China Automobile Federation is required, so that it will be safer.So if you don’t have any competition experience in China, even if you have the money to pay for the competition, I’m sorry, go and get the FIA ​​C license first.The entry price of 300 million yuan is only the starting price of an international C-class driver's license, domestic competition experience, and a recommendation letter from the China Automobile Federation. This is not a problem for many Chinese drivers, but why are there so few people participating at their own expense?Because participating in this competition requires money, if you don’t pursue rankings and just want to finish the race, you need at least 300 million yuan to participate in the car group.

The registration fee for Dakar is more than 1 euros, and the registration fee for the truck group is more than 2 euros, which is enough to buy a car in China.And it is not that you can go to the race after paying the registration fee, you must also have a car that meets the requirements of the Dakar race.This car obviously can't be too bad, at least it needs to be a mass-produced car worth more than 60 yuan, and then it needs to be refitted. It is initially estimated that if you don't pursue rankings, you will spend 100 million yuan on the car alone.

In addition, you also need to find a support team to provide various services during the game.The members of the backup team also need to pay a registration fee of more than 8 euros per person.Of course, there are various expenses such as visas, transportation, accommodation, insurance, gasoline, communication, etc., which add up to a considerable amount.

In order to help the drivers realize their dream of Dakar, some people have started a special business, providing a series of services such as car rental, finding a navigator, and logistics.For example, the NJ Motor Sports Club in France began to provide modification services for Dakar racing cars in 1985, and provided modification and supply services for 2007 participating teams in 10.Contact foreign teams, and someone will take care of everything. At that time, you only need to carry your luggage and arrive directly in Argentina to compete.

Ye Ling spent a few days learning about the registration procedures for the Dakar Rally.

Then, it took Ye Ling more than two weeks to finally get the C license issued by the FIA.

The C photo issued by the FIA ​​was given to him through the relationship between the Mercedes-Benz spokesperson. The Mercedes-Benz spokesperson has seen Ye Ling's driving skills, and they all think that Ye Ling has such strength.

And this C photo issued by the FIA ​​is the ticket for the Dakar Rally.

……

The fact that Ye Ling got the ticket to the Dakar Rally shocked Yu Hongchen again.

At first Yu Hongchen thought he was just joking, just thinking about it, but he didn't expect him to have come this far.

You must know that the game with the highest death rate in the world is the Dakar Rally.

In extreme terrain, the instability of motorcycle driving.The arduous schedule of the Dakar Rally contains many dangerous and complex terrains.For example, on soft sand dunes, the motorcycle must increase the accelerator and cannot drive over intermittently. If the oil is cut off during the period, it is easy to sink into the soft sand.And if you pass through at high speed and with high throttle, if you encounter a crash, it will be a very serious accident.

The most taboo thing for a track and field athlete is to get injured. I didn't expect Ye Ling to dare to participate in this competition.

Without further ado, Yu Hongchen called Ye Ling directly.

Ye Ling answered the phone and saw that it was Yu Hongchen who called. In fact, he had already guessed why Yu Hongchen called himself, but he still smiled and said, "Director Yu, why did you call me?" It's blowing."

"Ye Ling, don't talk to me, are you too young, or too stupid? Do you know that the Dakar Rally has been held for 29 years and more than 50 people have been killed. The highest record is that 24 contestants died in 3 hours. The probability of injury is as high as 80%. It is too inappropriate to lose your life in just one race. How old are you? How many years of driving experience do you have? Your driving skills are probably not as good as mine. Life comes first and races come second. You don’t want to die Yet."

"Eh..." Ye Ling didn't expect Yu Hongchen to be so aggressive when he came up, and this decision of his own was really unpopular.

"Director Yu, this is something I have already decided, and I have spent a lot of thought and financial resources on this matter. I must participate in this competition." Ye Ling said.

"You are simply a lunatic. The income of Dakar drivers plus the pilot registration fee is about 1000 million euros. The number of logistics and maintenance personnel is more than 1000. The registration fee is 2000 million euros."

"But what you need to know is that 300 million is just an entry fee. If you are lucky, the most you can do is visit Dakar. If you want to make a difference on this stage, you have to burn the money to the end. In 2011, the Volkswagen team Dominate the Dakar, and take the top three places in the driver list. But what you need to know is that in 2011, a brand new Volkswagen Touareg 3 racing car was specially developed. Each car costs more than 1200 million yuan, and the competition budget of each car All reached hundreds of millions of RMB, and the budget for the four racing cars is at least 4 million RMB.”
